Help for Tension

I meet a lot of people who love learning things and making improvements in their lives. When I tell them I teach the Alexander Technique in Rockford to people when they need this type of remedial work, I am usually asked, "What's that?"
Here's the short story; When FM Alexander lost his voice on stage, he realized he was doing something wrong in vocal production. Then he figured out what he was doing wrong. Then he figured out how to STOP doing the thing that was wrong. Simple...
Except that most of us need a lot of help not just noticing what we just did that messed us up, but most of all we need help un-learning that behavior.
That's where FM's technique comes in handy.
Here are some questions that can guide your attention;
What are you doing with your neck?
Where is the unnecessary tension happening?
Do you really need that?
The funny thing about tension is that it can be coming from wrong signals out of the brainstem. It's as though you've been told to "please take the trash and dump it in the living room!"
That's a wrong signal, eh? But that is what happens when there is a loss of hind-brain connection with the body. It's fixable with upper cervical chiropractic and saves you a lot of time and money.
Once that's done, if there is still unnecessary tension, the Alexander Technique gives you a way of changing that, letting it go, getting into your work with no unnecessary tension. Isn't that nice?
So are you ready to find out if you can be helped?
